Hoe laat is het?

1:00 – one o’clock          7:00 – seven o’clock ​

2:00 – two o’clock         8:00 – eight o’clock​

3:00 – three o’clock      9:00 – nine o’clock​

4:00 – four o’clock        10:00 – ten o’clock​

5:00 – five o’clock         11:00 – eleven o’clock​

6:00 – six o’clock           12:00 – twelve o’clock​

The hours:

Het is half twaalf.

It is half past eleven.

Het is half negen.

It is half past eight.

Note how we say that it is half an hour BEFORE the hour. Where the English say it is half an hour AFTER the hour.

Note:

a.m. is used from midnight to noon; 

p.m. is used from noon to midnight.

noon: 12.00 in the afternoon (in de middag)

midnight: 00.00 (middernacht)

In English we don't use the 24 hour system that we use. Instead they use a.m. and p.m. This stands for ante meridiem and post meridiem. You can forget the meaning, as long as you remember when to use which one.

extra note:

als het 9 uur in de ochtend is, zeg je nine a.m. óf nine in the morning. Dus niet nine a.m. in the morning! Da's dubbelop!

Telling the time

• o'clock: volle uren
• half uur: half past

Let Op: "half past two" = 2.30 uur

• vanaf 31 min 'over': to

• Nederlands "vijf voor half..." = Engels X (twenty-five past...)

Telling the time

In het Engels wordt gekeken naar het hele uur. We hebben het over na het hele uur of voor het hele uur.

• Hele uur is
• O'clock
• Na dit uur is
• Past
• Voor het nieuwe uur is
• To 

• Een kwartier na is
• A quarter past
